Don’t Panic

Installation

To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:

  1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add sc.social.like to the list of eggs to install:

    [buildout]
    ...
    eggs =
        sc.social.like

After updating the configuration you need to run ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.

Go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in a Plone site and click on the ‘Add-ons’ link.

Check the box next to Social: Like Actions and click the ‘Activate’ button.

Configuration

Go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in the Plone interface and click on the ‘Social Like’ link – under Add-on Configuration.

The control panel configlet.

There you can configure how Social: Like Actions will behave, which actions will be displayed and for which content types.

Privacy and cookies

Social media widgets commonly track user actions and add third party cookies.

If privacy is something you must care about (for instance, if you need to comply with the European Cookie Law), sc.social.like provides a “Do not track users” option. When enabled, social media widgets will be rendered as simple HTML links at the expense of features and user experience.

This product is also respects the Do Not Track user’s browser preference. If the user configured the browser for not being tracked, social media will be rendered as if the “Severe privacy” setting was enabled.

Tiles

If collective.cover is installed, two new tiles will be available: Facebook and Twitter.

The Facebook tile embeds a Facebook Page. You can set the width and height, and you can control some other aspects of the widget. A Facebook application ID must be defined in the Social Like configlet in order to use this tile.

The Twitter tile embeds a Twitter timeline. Timelines are an easy way to embed multiple tweets on your website in a compact, single-column view. You can set the width, height and tweet limit, and you can use a widget ID. A Twitter username must be defined in the Social Like configlet in order to use this tile.

The Twitter and Facebook tiles.

TODO:

  • [ ] Facebook: return a comma-separated string of tabs to render

  • [ ] Twitter: allow to remove a display component of a timeline (chrome)

  • [ ] Twitter: refresh the tile after editing it

  • [ ] RobotFramework tests for both tiles
